New Jersey towns enforce teen curfews for Halloween to ensure safety

Several New Jersey towns have implemented teen curfews for Halloween and Mischief Night. Curfews vary by town, with some starting at 7 p.m. and others at 9 p.m. These measures aim to prevent potential disturbances. The curfews apply to teens aged 16 and under in some areas, while others include those up to 18. Exceptions are made for jobs, religious activities, and medical emergencies. Officials cite concerns over recent incidents involving large groups of teens. Voorhees has adjusted its curfew from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. this year, noting that previous curfews have helped maintain safety. Other towns have also experienced issues with rowdy behavior, prompting these proactive measures.
